Two monster releases this week for co-op gamers to enjoy. But that's not all, we also have a few family friendly games to satiate your gaming desires.

Two Sonic releases, one launch trailer. The upcoming pair of action adventure games for Wii U and 3DS are scheduled for release in mid-November. They've got undiscovered lands, an ancient evil, metal Sonic, and gameplay that emphasizes teamwork in the most cooperative way possible!

Oh Sonic, it's comforting to know you're still alive. The days of Blast Processing are long gone, but you still run around with your blue hair and weirdly large sneakers like you just don't care. The hedgehog's next appearance is scheduled for mid-November with a pair of games for Wii U and 3DS. The games were scheduled to release a week apart, but now, thanks to whatever reasons, they'll hit on exactly the same day!

Try to keep the images of Guile from Street Fighter out of your mind when we tell you that Sonic Boom has a release date. Sega's co-op action adventure game with the appropriate amount of "attitude" we'd expect from the post-2000 Sonic will launch in mid-November in the U.S. and UK.

Announced today by Sega, a new Sonic the Hedgehog game called Sonic Boom will try to re-invent modern Sonic for the hungry masses. Will this new imagining be enough to bring the franchise back from the brink?
